CC&Rs have evolved significantly since their general introduction in the 1960s. They've had to keep pace with a growing body of law affecting community associations as well as practical issues involving maintenance and operations. We offer amendments as well as complete restatements. Some of the benefits of restating your CC&Rs include:

• adding rental restrictions

• eliminating declarant provisions

• requiring owners to carry insurance

• setting occupancy restrictions

• adding acoustical restrictions for hardwood floors

• properly defining maintenance responsibilities

• adding disclosures required by the Davis-Stirling Act

• deleting illegal or unenforceable provisions

• eliminating developer provisions

• reducing the association's potential liability

• adding restrictions on aggressive breeds of dogs

• reducing the need for interpretation by using plain English

• and more

We include a complete restatement of the bylaws at the same time so as to provide a matched set of documents.

Restatement Timeline. The process takes about 4 to 6 months. Some associations take longer depending on how they approach the project.

Court Approval. The Davis-Stirling Act recognizes the difficulty in obtaining membership approval. It allows associations to go into court and seek judicial approval if at least 50% of the membership approved the amendments and/or restatement. If needed, we can prepare the petition and present the matter to the court for approval.
